Jon got off the special ventilator today. The doctors and nurses had been talking about switching him all day and his oxygen level kept showing about 90-93 so we weren't sure if they were going to do it. They decided that if they didn't try we wouldn't ever make any progress. They made the switch and he did extremely well. He was having about 97 and above oxygen levels. They went down a little bit later in the evening but he was doing well. They are talking about moving him to a regular bed and turning the paralytic off tomorrow. God answers our prayers and we need to be thankful! Please keep praying for Jon and Melinda.
